For guidance, we can turn to the original responses by 1st Nations to the European economic-ecological colonial refugees who arrived from Europe’s war-torn destroyed nations.
1st Nations welcomed the refugees as was once the culture of all indigenous peoples on earth. The refugees were made to feel welcomed & by 1700 AD, most were integrating into the Quipu based string-shell accounting & Production-Society/Guilds specialized organization of diverse domestic, industry & commerce labour economies. 1st Nations could see the isolation, subservience, hierarchy & bullying part of the settlers & Mestizo, but were confident settlers would learn.

However the oligarchs who financed ships, armies, weapons, attack-dogs & out of ignorance had neglected colonist food, shelter, clothing, health organization provision etc. for basic necessities, were now worried settlers were integrating & properly immigrating. So religious, army & colonial administrators hemispherically across all the Americas were animated by 1700 to destroy 1st Nation libraries, quipu, wampum & all forms of their economic abundance, plenty, administration & governance. The colonies deepened in their extractive exploitive destruction of biosphere resources. Instead of harvesting from plenty in the extensive 1st Nation Polyculture Orchards, ignorant European administrators made cutting them down the condition of settler land ownership rights. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/relational-economy
